Yes, I tried this lousy advice once.
I moved from a job where I was respected and had friends, to a job where my boss was an idiot (thought degrees Rankine and degrees Kelvin were the same thing, went through three textbooks that showed he was wrong, and still thought they were the same) and a crook (stole, and used, patented designs from his previous employer).
I learned that if you are only working for the money, it is unlikely the you will be happy with your job.
I have known printers who were fired because they could not do work that was beyond the capabilities of the equipment that their idiot bosses insisted they do it with. It was like demanding that someone haul five tons on a half ton pickup truck. At times I took trouble calls on new machines and found that the only trouble was that the equipment, which was new, was not built to do what the customer was trying to do and I was told that the salesman who sold it said that it would do it.
